Tonight the senate voted on a bill to prevent a 10.6% decrease in medicare reimbursement. All 50 Democrats present voted to prevent this decrease but nearly all the Republicans voted in favor of the decrease. The decrease will take effect on Tuesday with many more to come.
The current projection is that this figure will drop 40% by 2015 if nothing is done to stop it. Republicans seem to be fine with that. Are you?
